Overwatch 2 Console players will be able to officially use a keyboard and mouse by officially starting with the release of the 18 season. Posted before the new season, the Overwatch 2 Team says the matchmaking pools will be tweeted somewhat so that the players are picked up in a mouse and keyboard pool and a controlling pool. Those who are playing on the console using the keyboard and mouse (KBM) input will be linked to the PC player and other KBM console players, while the controller pool will only be reserved for console players using the controller. 18 Seasons arrived on August 26.
According to the patch notes, “Ranks for your internal MMR, your internal MMR, skill rating and mode of all games will be different from the controller pool statistics,” for players. This group will not have access to AIM assistance, as it is, and it will continue for PC players using a controller. KBM players need to take the prompt to switch to that pool to play, or manually switch to the GamePlay alternative menu.
